CAMP STOVE.

Application led May 19,

'3e it known that L Dimmi, DYEn, a eitizen ot the llnited .itaefwreeidizrelr in the eity ot liend and State ot Oregon`r have invented newend useful improvements in (emp Stores, ot whieh the t`ollo\\'ine is arqieeiieution. reierenee heini: had to the aerolnpenyingf drawings.

This invention ie in the way oi"Y a eollnpeible ean'ip stove, and oneoi" the objects: is to provide simple and el'lieient stove otl this kindwhieh may he piielzly Set up for use or knocked down for transportation.Another objeet is to provide a draft deflect.- infr set of danroereYdeeigned to tiret Send the smoke oi the freshly kindled lire direr-tlvrout o i the Hue` and then a ttor the heat ol the iire develops. todirect the ('urrerte` o'l' hot air liraty forwardlyv and then up andbark over the oren so da to eoinpletely en relop the oven and quieklycook the 'lood therein.

ln the drawings:

Figure 1 iS a top plan View,

Figure Q is a bottom plan View.

Figure 3 is a front elevationA7 showingV the lire door and oven doorhoth partly open.

Figure 11 is a rear elevation.

Figure 5 is u. detail View of the interior oren fioor and attaeheddamper elements.

Figure 6 is a vertieal Sectional View of the ramp store on a reducedseele.

In carrying outv the invention ae embodied in the present i'orm otronetruetiton` l provide a reetangularn sheet Inet-al box or storeeasing 1, ineludinff a top plate Q having); depending side tiangee I1with key holes 1 eut therein adapted to engage the Studs 5 Eet along theupper eilggeeot the Side plates (3`y and thus releafsabl)v loel: the topand Side plates together. rear plate T is hinged to the top plate il et,the pointe` tl. and is thun` adapted to turn down as a elosure tor thebark of the letove easing. its an addi4 tional fastenintr hooky J arepiroted at lll to the rear plate T and adapted to enter slots V11 formedin the extended edgeA oi the, side platee. Hue or pipe hole 12 in eutthrough the beek of the top plate. Uren supporting' brackets 13 arehorizontallyY mounted on the inner taeee ofi the side plates 6 and theirends are extended trontell'ty to form door Supporting lugs 1-1r andpirotalllxr mounted thereon are the oven and tire doors 15 and 16 whichare pivoted together by the 1921. Serial N0. 470,752.

rod 1T. the ends of the latter engaging* the luge .11 as stated. An orenfloor 1S with 'lrontal and rear dainpers 19 and 20 hinged thereto :it 2land E22 is: loosely laid on the brackets 13. and with the dampers laidtial these elements are eorxteneire with the inside length of the Stoveeasing. A damper rod Q8 is piroted at L11 to the rear damper 2() andextends forwardly7 to engage the l'rontal damper 1S) through :1 loop 25in the rod passed into a slot .26 in the demper. The relation oi' theloop 25 to the pivotal point Bel ie euch that when the damper 241 islai'i llat or Closed the loop 27| is adapted to hold the damper 1f)upright. Similarly the frontal damper 1.0 may be laid Haty or eloeed.and the rear damper i211 opened by means o l' the demper rod The end otthis rod ex tenthy out through a hole 2T in the oren door 15.

ln use the food to be eooked is plared iu any suitable pan and thelatter then Slid into the oren. When the tire is Started the rear damper211 opened and the frontal one 151 ie; eloaed` thue` throwing' the smokedirertly out the line hole 12` but after heat in generated Same mayv hedirected forwardljr and over the eonteute ot the oven by vloeinej therear damper and opening the frontal one. The stove may ho readilyYknocked down and eoinpartl \Y pneked for transportation. The Spare belowthe oren plate and the dnniperf; eonstitute the combustion rharnlier andthe hre is built Within the roinluletion Chamber upon the ground.` theStore beine open at the bottom for this piu'- poae. ln Figure 6 oi' thedrawings both Chambers are shown raised in dotted lines for the purposeof illuetration but in praetize the ren r ehninlier will be raised whenthe tire in tiret started and the front damper n'ill then lle ehwell sothat the Smoke will pase directly out through the opening` 1:2 iu llatop plate. .\'l"ter the smoke han pzh-ined out :ind the tue! burned tohot roais the rear dnlnper in eloeed :ind the l'rout damper i@ reif-tedto pause the heat to travel forwardlyv to the openintr formed by raisingthe troni damper and then npn'ardlv through eluh opening and rearnerdlyvover the top of the oren plate to the opening 1Q thereby euhjeetine theartieleey ot t'ood placed on the oren plate to both the heat ot the lirebelow the oren plate and to the heat passing over the oven plate. Theupper or oven door lo is opened for the purpose of engaging the loop orbend 25 ot thev domper operating rod with the slot 2G of the frontdrunper.

lv'hvn it is desired to eollupse the stom. the flanges 3 of the topplate are disengaged from the etude 5 of the side plates. the hvj.'holes1 -l permittingr the Side plates to he readily moved inwardly whenthe enlarged portioneA of the ke)Y holes :ire brought opposite tht`heads of the studs. The top pleite may then he lifted off the saidplates und the hinged rear plate may be swungr flut against the. topplate. As: the ends of the pivot 1T of the oven und tire doors aresupported in openings;` in the projecting lugs ll the doors may hereadily removed und laid with the side platee1 upon theA top plete andthe reni' plate and the oven plate :uid the dempers are then arrangedupon the eollupsed portionl of the stove. This; will en- :ihle the stoveto he compnetly arranged for .Shipping or storing.

Thilo l halve herein deserihed u certain :.peeilie method ofconstructing and assemhliner the elements of my invention, it isunderstood sume muy be varied in minor details. not lepartingr from thespirit of my invention as defined in the appended claims.

I claim:
